polyfilled engine mounts

Post by vanzep » Tue Feb 28, 2012 12:39 pm

Ive got 3 spare engine mounts - the two that sit either side of the gearbox and one that sits at the cambelt side of the engine. I was thinking about getting them poly filled. I know there is another mount - the big round anti-lift one that sits up against the firewall but i havent got that one. Is it worth getting just the three of them done?
Cost seems to be around £20 to £25 ea.
Any feedback appreciated!
Poss group buy?

One mount either side of the gearbox? :?

There should be 4 in total... Front, Back, left and right... Right? :lol:

ok i had three now ive got four or will have by the end of the week
might as well get em done and changed over when i do my clutch in 3 months time
I had seen on puk that there were some good options on shore hardness and colour choice.
So im going to do a bit more research - any input is welcome :)
